I work in Polish, English and Romanian

My name is Daniela-Mihaela Otaşevici‑Świst. I have worked in the medical translations field for 12 years, most often translating articles written by Polish physicians, but not only, into English.

Romanian is my first language. I have lived in Poland for about 40 years and also use Polish professionally.

My priorities in translation are faithful meaning and clear, natural language.

Language and specialist background

  1. 01
    Language studies

    Polish and English at the University of Bucharest.

Some of my translations have been reviewed by medical specialists. This consultation is not, however, a standard part of every project.

How I work

  • I review the subject and level of specialisation before accepting a project
  • I agree the expected scope of changes
  • I use terminology consistently
  • I flag ambiguous passages
  • I clearly distinguish translation, proofreading and verification
  • I protect the confidentiality of the materials provided
